Duolingo English Test reposted this
Last week, the Duolingo senior leadership team gathered for our annual offsite retreat. As always, the conversations were inspiring, and there were lots of laughs! We take our mission to democratize education seriously, but we certainly don’t take ourselves too seriously—and that balance is part of what makes this team so special. I’m blown away by what we’ve achieved as a company, both with our learning app and with the Duolingo English Test. But what excites me even more is what’s on the horizon in 2025. There’s a lot more to come for learners and test takers around the world, and I’m lucky to be working alongside such an amazing group of humans to make it happen. Grateful for the work, and even more for the people. 💚

How can the DET be a high-stakes exam that’s not a chore to take? We focus on the test-taker experience (TTX) in everything we do, from our assessment frameworks down to our marketing. ⬇ We know test centers can be stressful! So, Duo and Lily were outside offering free manicures, massages, and coffees to students taking our competitor's test. 💅 💆♂️ ☕ Maybe they'll end up outside a test center near you?
